This repository contains the materials used by Geert Barentsen to give a trial talk at the Athenaeum house in Atherton, California, on Friday May 19th, 2017, titled "How to find a planet?".
The talk consisted of both a slide deck and a Jupyter notebook. It aimed explain how one may go about finding a planet in the original Kepler pixel data, using nothing more than a handful lines of Python code.
The audience consisted of engineers with strong computing skills but without (professional) astronomy experience. This is an audience I would like to target in the future for the sake of recruiting more talent into astronomy!
